Sounds like the controller from my train set. Had a Red knob on it for speed control that made a Nice scratchy sound when Turned. multiple outputs on the back, Most Fixed for running points and lights etc and a couple that varied for the speed control.
It was tough. I remember multiple occasions where something shorted and was only discovered by the smell coming from the transformer as it was red hot. Didn't seem to phase it though.
I still have it up the back. Found it recently in a clean up and couldn't bare to chuck it out. Too many memories. Given the age I was when it was bought and the thing looked old then, I'd say it's odds on older than I am.
